If you have a motorcycle salvage yard in your town you might look for a tank there. I'm using an 80cc Yamaha dirt bike tank. 1.25 gal and fits a bicycle frame nicely with a little fabrication for the mounts. Good luck.

Expect the 4L tank to be scratched up, not really rounded well. Even one of the posted sale pics show it scratched up.

BTW the thing is HUGE. I think the newer 3L tanks that are coming in new engine kits are the way to go for style if you are looking at stock type tanks.
